Hey all. So im really freaking out. Yesterday and the day before that i barely ate. When i woke up yesterday, i was having horrible acid reflux. I did not eat all day then i had fried chicken last night. Around 1 am, i started having horrible stomach pains accompanied by nausea and tummy aches. When i woke up this morning, i had diarrhea along with all the other pains. Im so afraid that it could be covid 19 or something serious. Had anyone ever had this happen?
Don’t freak out.
It sounds like a stomach infection.
Take OTC Antibiotics like ofloxacin or consult a doctor.
do you normally suffer from anxiety? I have had the same thing happened to me many times. Mine is due to anxiety and stress. As a nurse I know that there is a very strong connection between the brain and the stomach, and entire gastrointestinal system.. when we have anxiety or stress or both it can definitely affect the stomach and intestines. This is why you see people having ulcers.
there are a few things that could cause your symptoms. One of them being anxiety and stress. Another could be that you ate something bad. Also it sounds like your stomach did not agree with the fried chicken. gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach tissue. I have had that many times. If it’s that then you have to stay away from anything that is fat, acid and carbohydrates. Also soda or pop, cheese and many other foods that you can find online.
its not likely that this is due to Covid. 99% of people have a cough and fever. You may be fighting some other kind of virus like a stomach virus. Make sure you were drinking water because you lost a lot of it through the diarrhea. Try keeping your diet bland and eat things like bananas rice applesauce and toast. See how you feel in a couple days. If it continues you can let your doctor know. take care of yourself! And get some rest.
Anyone here who can recommend an effective OTC medicine for acid reflux other than Gaviscon? It ain’t working for me anymore.
Try Pantoprazole 40mg on empty stomach half an hour before breakfast.
hey thank you so much. i do have frequent anxiety. currently dealing with an episode as i reply here. i ended up going to the doctor cuz i started to become very weak as i was losing alot of fluid. turns out i picked up a rotovirus… thats what the doctor called it. doctor said that it could have been due to the fried chicken not being cooked well. im doing alot better now where my stomach is concerned. mentally, not so much. i just went into an internal panic tonight and my biggest fear is strokes. now i feel like my left arm hurts and my left side of my face feels weird. i know that its my anxiety, doesnt freak me out any less tho…
i dont know if you have this where you are, but my doctor gave me a pill called omez/ omprezol. worked almost instantly after taking it.
